At night it is pretty scary.
Japanese photographer Ken Oki, who works under the pseudonym of Unison (Yukison), traveled to Toyama Prefecture, when I came across an eerie sight: a collection of human statues placed around the village Fureai-Seibutsu-no-Sato, which means “the village where you can meet Buddhist statues”.
“I felt as if accidentally found some sort of restricted area. Incredible,” wrote Ken on Twitter. In fact, he found a Park with 800 different sculptures in the form of Buddhist deities and acquaintances of the founder of the Park Mutsuo Furukawa. His plan was to turn the Park into a popular tourist attraction, where people would come to relax. Of course, this is a great idea. But as time went on, the statue lost its relaxing properties and is now likely to cause an unsettling feeling.
Just imagine that you are one and suddenly found something similar. Night. When there’s nobody around and nobody to call for help. Yeah, very relaxing…
